Valspar

Terra Earth

2003-5C

Terra Earth is a deep salmon clay with a warm red orange base. It is stronger than beige. A powder room, dining area, or exterior shutter scheme can handle this earth color when the rest of the palette stays quiet.

At LRV 31, it still needs good light. Pair with creamy trim, dark wood, or olive textiles, and test near brick before committing.

Terra Earth in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
